The scholarship is to support his study for the twin Diplomas of Vocational Education and Training and Training Design and Development.
Tim has been a NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteer since 1993 and is a member of Wards River Brigade and the Great Lakes Training Support Brigade, working as an instructor and assessor.
"The learning environment is constantly changing and becoming more and more technology-oriented, so it is important to update my skill set,” Tim said.
“These diplomas will better equip me for both leadership and creative roles in Vocational Education and Training.”
“One of the great things about being part of the Rural Fire Service is the opportunities for continual learning. This RFSA scholarship will help me in both my volunteer service and my employed career in the NSW RFS.”
The funding is provided by the NSW Rural Fire Service Association (RFSA), the representative association for the volunteers and staff of the NSW RFS.
“As part of ongoing support of rural fire fighters, RFSA provides annual scholarships for members who are considered to be outstanding representatives of the NSW RFS and RFSA to enhance the recipient’s professional and personal development, to provide a higher level of service to the NSW RFS and the community,” RFSA president, Ken Middleton said.
